Nice xD I just got my 6600k build up and running. Hoping to get an M.2 SSD by august <3

ncix is having a canada day sale on ssd right now, probably have a us sale next week. (just grabbed mine for 80)

Well... They have the one I want but its like $100 over the MSRP and other sites x)

are you in US? cuz ncix usually defaults canadian prices. :b just make sure thats right.

no 1080p

GG AFK

who needs a monitor. I do old school; stick cable in mouth and learn the language of its people.

SCREECHING DIAL UP NOISES

What kind of video card?

EVGA GTX 1070 Superclocked is the one I want.
But it's the most popular of them all, so impossible to find. lol.

ahh X3 best of luck on the search! hopefully for a good price too!

that's the bitch. because of the big demand, videocard scalpers are buying them all up and putting them on ebay for twice the price.

gotta love those people X3

How much all this cost lol

once i have the video card, just under 2k. (Canadian)

Goddang boi datsa alot

It hopefully will last 5 years T_T

Was about to say you need more than just a case.

I'm probably going to put off upgrading my 780 for a while because I wanna get a new laptop with a mobile 10 series in it. A shitty 9 year old XPS with a a GS 8600m (yea, two zeroes)that overheats playing adventure capitalist just isn't cutting it anymore.

What kinda games you play?

I have access to all the 900 series easily, but figured buy the new card so it lasts longest. why not.

:P Well... heard I July/Aug, you'll be able to get one

that's the card that is sold out everywhere.

and the specific one i want is gone by the time NowInStock updates.

(great site for catching hard to find items)

I sure hope some dumbass didn't give you the wrong advice about the parts you need. That'd be a perfectly good waste of a DVD-ROM drive.

Don't forget to pee on the parts before you install them. They need to know who their new Master is, otherwise your PC will disrespect you forever.

I've already collected 8 badges so it will obey me. plus I have a gameshark on hand if I need to turn the DVD-ROM drive into a dildo.

You're mistaken. You can only turn a DVD-ROM drive into a cup-holder or dildo-holder. The CD tray won't support the weight of a silicon or rubber toy. I Others have tried.

It's customary to break a champagne bottle over the nose of the case, though, once it's up and running and completely configured.

So you're saying I should attach the dildo to the side of the box? Or maybe on top for better access.

I think they're saying you need to upgrade to blu ray because dvd just doesn't have the capacity to support something that large. Attach it parallel with the tray that way you can achieve an anal orgasm by the time you're done installing final fantasy 7 and 8.

If I install sonic, will the bluray drive door go fast?

This thread gave me cancer.

Then you need a floppy.

What's the bottom left?

Mistook the psu for another mb.

why win7?

only one ssd? no raid0?

bit much for a heatsink ah ha

here's a few

bottom left is wifi AC + blutooth 4.1

PSU box is twice as big as the block

Cuz win10 has such a sour taste in my mouth over the data mining and dirty tricks they been doing to force it on everyone.

There's a 2TB HDD underneath the SSD, forgot to but beside.

what you mean by the heatsink comment? lol.

So you have to have it connected outside of the case?

block?

Still raid0 is awesome since SSDs don't have issues.

Gosh i have a 1.5tb and have it segmented twice, still aren't using half the dam thing.

like, it looks as big as the mb. why not just water cooling?

yeah i ordered online so didn't realize the bluetooth antenna is outside the box. :\

i meant the contents of the PSU box are much smaller than the box

I work in multimedia/TV so i use a lot of video.

cuz I spent the last of my money on the last parts so don't have any more for watercooling. :b

ah ha... where'd you order?

You check the link i left?

hmm so a tv star ey?

watercooling isnt that expensive x3

NCIX

I see no link...

nope. animator. we get no credit.

too late now lol.

never heard of it.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ.....amp;ignorear=1

Windows 10 64bit
Core i7 2600k at 4.6 ghz
16gb Dual channel DDR3 at the evil 666mhz
Maximus V formula MB
4GB GTX970 SSC Doing Dual Screens at 1920x1080
2x 120 SSD in Raid0

raid 0 is pretty unnecessary for SSD. Raid one would be better for the data security, you wouldn;t get much more out of an SSD in raid 0 with the way the bus is, such space would best be used for HDDs in a raid 0

Well i really havt little concern for security as everything importsnt is on a backup

Besides i have little patience for waiting. Ah ha

Looking into PCI ssd

*nods* ok. I keep everything on an external hard drive. Every time I see someone loosing data I want to tell them it's not that expensive now to do a raid with a little bit of patience and work but you know how it is.

I just have back ups run daily. But yes raid does make it more easy. You just cant really run more than one at once.

Oh sure you could. If you so wanted, you could have two HDD's running in raid 0, and then have two sets of those running in raid 1, but the question is not if you can do it, but if you should.

Is that big ass cooler gonna fit in your case XD
How much RAM is that anyway?
And why not Windows 10?

It better fit. PCPartpicker didn't say any issues... but now you're making me wonder... I need the case to check. DAMN YOU BACK-ORDERS

win10 has such a sour taste in my mouth over the data mining and dirty tricks they been doing to force it on everyone.

I use a program called Spybot Anti-Beacon that kills all the data mining processes and removes the registry keys. Made by a reputable, trustworthy security firm.

But yea I was researching air-cooling vs water-cooling and they say that you have to make sure your case can fit those monster heatsinks if you wanna use them.

A friend of mine uses Windows 10... baring the underhanded bullshit Microsoft has been doing regarding it's attempts at force-implementation, the operating environment alone is enough to make me want throw the tower.

"But you can just use the classic interface." You mean the pared down classic interface that forces you to, at some point, NEED to use the new interface over? No... just no. Windows 10 is garbage for anything BUT a tablet and, really, who uses a tablet for anything genuinely serious?

Well I guess everyone feels differently. I think 10 is pretty good. Now I agree that 8/8.1 felt like it deserved to be on a tablet, yea. 10 does still have some features of 8 but I like it a loooot more than 8.

I also do actually have a tablet with 10 on it and it does work very very well in that situation XD

Good luck getting a 1070, newegg sells out in seconds. I only was able to pick up the Gigabyte G1 1070, because it was launch day and they had 250 of them and the nvidia subreddit shared the link before it went public. Still sold out under 3min lol

Newegg will not for the life of me accept me paying with paypal for some reason. I don't know why...
so when i tried, i get errors, talk to support for them to tell me it sold out while I was talking.

My last computer (also an EVGA build) spent just over a year as a franken-puter scattered across a shelf connected by cables before I was able to find a good case to hold the EATX monstrosity. As long as you support everything and keep the mobo safe (I had it sitting on the zero-stat sleeve on top of the box it shipped in) you can run with no problems.

My current computer (a Gigabyte Skylake build done in January) is about to get some upgrades and will likely run shakedown outside of the case for convenience in testing/tweaking. It's really not a bad way to break in your new system.

Good luck with the build! 8-)

Congrats on the latest-gen i7! :D

Challenge accepted.

Yeah. who needs a case.

Son, a cardboard box will do. Plus, you won't have to unscrew open the entire side of it to fiddle with the innards.

CD/DVD drive

An ancient device of the computer god, ROM

750 watts is about 250 more than you will ever need

I'm hoping for SLI down the road if I ever get the cash. I asked extensively the guy at the store if I'd have any problems with it and he said it'd be fine.

well i mean the guy at the store sells you whatever , 1080s are available in Europe en masse tho , so go there (norway has tonns of em )

I'll drive over tomorrow.

I have the same cooler in my case and I think the 750w PSU is kind of over kill. owo Unless you have plan on Overclocking like crazy or SLI.. but that is my opinion

I asked if I were hoping to sli down the road, would there be any issues with grabbing the 750 now.

it was on sale so figured why not.

I don't THINK i'm gonna have problems?

Mmmm... sale you say? That is the best word in the world.

hehe good thing i bought mine when they first came out

YOU HAVE MY VIDYA CARD. GIMME

NEVAH!!!!!

Cool beans!
Power supply is a good choice.
Everything looks solid, even though it's not mini itx :P
I wouldn't do SLI though.

curious why not? I'm still kinda new to it all. :b

What resolution will you be running?

1080 duh

It only gives about 30% more then a single card due to the latency from the PCI slot distances.

Would be better to simply buy a more expensive card then spend double to get 2 that wont truely give that much more.

nice i would say liquid cooling would be better my i7 sits at about 28C idle and 52C when i push it have the evo cooler worked okish to hot to over clocking. the Kingston ssd works great have one in my set up.

What case?

Can't wait to upgrade, but is poor fox.

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, OC'd to 3.7GHz
2x4GB DDR3 G.SKILL Ripjaws X @ 1333MHz (planning to upgrade to 4x4GB)
ASUS GTX 750Ti 2GB GDDR5
WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3
NZXT Phantom (the original badass - want to get the Phantom 820 - massive fucker of a tower <3)

I have a case in the mail,
Fractal Design R5 Titanium.

how the hell did u get your hands on windows 7?

you need a key/copy? i have a copy of 7 i was going to use but got a fresh install of 10 instead its win 7 home spk1

the heck is a nex750g?

nevermind i see it says psu on the box.


also what gpu are you trying to grab?

u mean video card?
I'm trying to get a gtx 1070, (preferably EVGA superclocked)
but they're sold out EVERYWHERE

videocards are gpu (graphics processing unit)

also here http://www.nowinstock.net/computers.....vidia/gtx1070/

i used this when i got mine day one from nvidia

Better put at least a 1070 in that.

trying but I'm broke. ;_;

Then get the new AMD 480 its $200 with the performance of a gtx 970. A price to performance ratio you can not beat.

Hrah. I have the exact same mobo, just built it 2-3 weeks ago!
And really, invest in a cable. Wireless will always, always be a pain.

i know. just current office is nowhere near the router.

Please don't go over windows 7 cause win 8 and 10 be spying too much of everyone's business xD lol.

you just have to go in settings and turn it off.

Even with it off they can still spy your torrent piracy. :o

like they couldnt already. too bad i already have what i need from my old pc transfered by usb. just wait though theyll find a way to make their programs untrackable by win 10.

Finally. Glad to see you're catching up, peasant.

[Insert montage of Starset's "It Has Begun" here]

If you get the chance to. hold off until you can get a GTX 1080. preferably one of the AMD or EVGA versions of it. it's only a single 8 pin PCI connection to the power supply. easily one of the THE lowest power draw cards while also being one of the most powerful. Infact. It is THE most powerful cards so far.

Could buy an AMD RX 480 for now, and sell it later. Mid-range cards like that are real easy to sell on craigslist after the fact. It's a good way to tide yourself over.

Try caseking

PRETY BAWXEZ

at the risk of sounding like a complete tool. If you live near me, I would happily give you a case and if you had the patience. I could probably find you a video card and you have to look up the drivers for it, but at least you have something to work with. I've got around nine or 10 gaming towers in different parts of the house, so I wouldn't mind giving you one. I even got a brand-new power supplied in the box Laying in a pile of stuff in the kitchen that I ended up with that would probably be enough for what you're doing. I am surprised at what people used to pay for those gaming towers and I at one point started getting them where people were throwing them out. They only had single core board and ship so I threw out the boards and ships a couple of don't look that great, but most of them are in really good shape. I'm wondering what your old system is that you're complaining about it? Is it a single core or a multicore system? I'm looking for multicore board and processor with RAM if anybody's getting rid of them. I've got to that I know are working and a third one that I'm not sure yet. The one I'm not sure is a fairly expensive gaming system and I haven't gotten around to it. Guy gave it to me for some old videogame stuff. Four core system with like a gauge of RAM couple of large hard drives more than likely you want the video card from that thing, but I'm going to use it. LOL. Hasn't got an operating system in the hard drive so I never tried running the machine yet. Trying to get around to getting a handful of small hard drives so that I can rig up a series of computers running Windows, XP 64-bit version so that I can set each one up running poser seven for doing parts of rendering work. At this point the only thing I haven't gotten a hold of is the hard drives. I don't see any point in using a 200 two 500 gig hard drive to run a 4 GB operating system and there won't be anything else on the machines. That looks like a nice rotor you've got there. If you are dealing with the Internet I have here you'd probably move to Cuba we only get 6. Something mbs and they consider that high speed . Most people in the US with cheap Internet are getting between 30 and 50 mbs;)

Former computer is an old imac. :b so not really salvageable for parts.
and I have a case, just on back-order. (I didn't realize i ordered something out of stock) so just have to wait maybe 1/2 weeks. hopefully shorter.

But thanks!

going from mac to pc and bilding it from parts that is a swich. most pc user's dont go to mac ;) and most who go to pc from mac dont bild 1;).depanding what 1 it is you mite sall it on ebay people have a thing for older mac's

There are people that bust on Media Center Form factor PCs but I have mine in a Silverstone Media PC case. It fits everything and is no bigger than my A/V Reciever while still being quite cool considering it;s placement. It can even be rackmounted if I ever get fancy. Consider all of your options when buying a case love.

This is gonna be a super computer. :)

Hoping so!

Buying Windows 7, eh? NO ONE ESCAPES WINDOWS 10!!!

http://i.imgur.com/Nh902aV.gifv

What are you thoughts of Windows 7 no longer having mainstream support and in 4 years no longer have of extended support. Also DirectX 12 is not going to be compatible with Windows 7, thoughts?

4 years of bliss?
And im not getting this for games mainly, i need it for work and heavy media/animation.

But i checked that the parts are compatible for both if down the road i guve in.

...or within a week to get for free, I dunno.

New egg should have the part you need in stock. If not there just sounds insane to not keep an abundance of a fast selling product in stock at all times.

Newegg is the only site that keeps refusing my paypal.
I don't know why...
By the time I get customer support on, it's out of stock again.

I tried paypal with them too for a part and they said they have had bad service with them. I emailed them and asked if they would take it. Your best option would be to get a reloadable visa card and use it that way. I had to do the same.

Gotta get that RX 480 swag

Too late, got an EVGA 1070 SC

I'm personally being a scrub and buying one already put together in a week, since it seems like a good setup - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product.....=AFB7JRYDQ1IGW

Apart from Win10, but that can be easily sorted with the install files I keep on this here pendrive.

sweet jeezus, 64 GB ram?! That's a lot of internet tabs. :b

And no shame in going that route. Do what u gotta do.

Add to that, this 27" monitor that already arrived and currently stands in front of me in preparation. I can already taste the glorious, crisp, 2560x1440 HD porn.

And possibly run Arkham Knight at medium settings without lag, I dunno.

* hugs* love the art keep up the good work ! Gratz on the system !!

Hope you managed to find a video card.

I've just (mostly) finished building my own new system. I have some of the same parts!

I ended up with an EVGA 1070. It's been good to me so far. :P

I decided on a GTX 1050 Ti. Then I thought, no, a 1060 with 6GB would be better.

After looking at other builds similar to mine, it seemed a 1070 was more in line with an i7 7700K and 32GB of 3000MHz RAM.

Then I spotted a new MSI GTX1080 Armor 8GB being sold for the price of a slightly expensive 1070 ...

And that's how I started out wanting a 1050 and ended up with a 1080.

I also have an AMD Firepro W5000 that I bought second hand. I want to add it because it supports 10 bit colour and so does my monitor. So ultimately I hope to have the 1080 for games and the W5000 for photoshop.

My new system ended up costing four times my original budget.

mine was almost 3 times, haha. I know the painful feeling. TwT

Currently my 2 monitors have different color output and have no idea how to tell which is right. :\

So A new monitor is the next big thing on the wishlist.

...which could easily turn the final cost into 4 times the original budget. :'D
